I ain't sayin you ain't pretty

When was the last time I did bullet points?

My to do list today after work: 1. pick up chemo at the pharmacy, 2. stop at REI for Nuun and GU.

The AC in my office has gone wonky. It apparently doesn't run at night (fine), because it's warm when I open my office. Then, around 10, for 10 minutes every half hour, it runs FULL BLAST. That makes it FREEZING (not fine). I don't like to be cold. I'm pretty much getting hypothermia.

I am running 20 miles tomorrow. TWENTY. Do you know how far that its? IT'S FAR.

Actual Wine and Dine planning has begun, too. I am SUPER SUPER STOKED for this one - a bunch of my non-bloggy friends are running. So excited.

I had a tempo run last night. I really hate tempo runs, but every now and then one isn't SOO bad, and I think it could be less horrible than I think.

Warm up was dreadful. Everything hurt. And not just, like, man my legs sure are tired I've been doing so much hurt, like motherEFFER that hurts ow, maybe I should stop. But sometime between mile 1 and 1.5, the ow stopped, and my body realized I wasn't just stopping. And it decided to play nicely.

Um. I also registered for my 4th marathon. Before I've done my first one. I KNOW. IMS Arizona - registration is only $35 right now. I think it goes up pretty soon, but even with the increase it's CHEAP. Do it. This crazy and THIS crazy will be there too.

I got an email Wednesday about a caramel blizzard at Dairy Queen. I know exactly what I'm doing Saturday afternoon.

So I generally hate running the treadmill, but when it comes to tempo runs, I prefer it. Which is odd. Maybe because it forces me to run fast whereas on the road, it's just so easy to slow down. I hate road tempos. I tolerate treadmill tempos.
